The Austrian equity participation group AvW Management- Beteiligungs
AG has changed its name to AvW Gruppe AG [the "AvW Group"]. "This
means that the international aspect of our business will be more
strongly emphasised in the company name," says the Chairman of AvWs
Board of Management, Wolfgang Auer von Welsbach. The aim of the AvW
Group is to build up equity holdings in the long term, including a
takeover if the circumstances are right. The Group includes the
companies AvW INVEST AG (AVWI.VI) and AvW Immobilien GmbH.
